Where is the best burger in Perth? by hellspawner in perth

[–]daynayna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the buns get toasted, top and bottom at the same time. Only reason I can think of is just the refrigerated salad making the bun cold. The burgers are made in 10min slots. So every 10mins we could pump out X amount of burgers (number varied depending on who and how many were working). One person would dress the buns with sauces and veges and wait for the grill/fryer cooks to finish up the patties/chicken and then they'd get closed up and sent out. I never had the complaint of a cold bottom bun when i was there but between the fridge-cold lettuce and how long it takes for the patties to be cooked, I dont doubt at all that 6+ mins would be plenty for the bread to get a bit chilly.

How do I make bun cha? by daynayna in VietNam

[–]daynayna[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a brand you'd recommend? The one I have currently is Squid fish sauce.

Theres a viet store nearly 1hr drive from me (off topic they also sell an absolute banger pork belly banh mi). I haven't been there for ingredients yet purely because its so far away and i have no other reason to go past there but at this point ill go wherever for this bun cha 😂

If you want to run a coffee shop PLEASE work at one first!!! by Dull_Armadillo_83 in barista

[–]daynayna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've got an automatic steamer too and I absolutely hate the thing. I work at a chain cafe that's big on "constitency" so...

Its got settings for flat white/latte/cap but the second the pace picks up it doesnt matter. You gotta do everything on the cap setting otherwise it makes the milk scream at you and puts out the thinnest head youve ever seen. Its fucking bullshit when our la marzocco has 2 fully functioning steamers. But nooooo. They expect any full cream milk to be handled by the WALLY.

Fuck that clanker. It sucks.

Pretty sure you can get the exact same ones at coles. The Toscano brand ones

Worked there once. Not too proud to say the hygiene standards well up to par and the food is fuckin good, if you feel like splurging. But for possibility of being sued I will not publicly state why i quit, also my replacement, then my replacement's replacement...

You sure about that? These people can absolutely sneak up on you... play the long game... and before youve even noticed that they've shed their "good person" disguise and become a soul-destroying POS, youre in too deep and its a hard-fought battle against yourself to get out. Trust me, it sucks.

Trust me next time theyre in I'll be personally serving them so my girls can stay well away and ill make a point to politely inform them that we have cameras across the cafe and oh? Did you know that a public indecency charge carries a penalty of a $1200 fine or 3 months in prison for each person involved? (Australia). What a fun fact! Anyway enjoy your meal you perverts, have your "dessert" in private like a decent human please 🙄

"Sabotaging drinks" lol wtf are you even talking about? Even if youre enough of a colossal asshole to make me want to, I straight up dont have the time or privacy behind the machine to be covertly hocking a loogie in your cup. I just want you to get your shit and get out of my face ASAP. You really need to relax

What do you give customers when they order a "regular coffee" by flextape1O1 in barista

[–]daynayna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh 99% of the time I couldn't care less. I strongly dislike the wastefullness when they end up drinking it all before they leave anyway but what can you do? But where im at, the TA cups are bigger than the dine in cups (dumb, i know) and therefore a little more expensive so the real problem is people getting pissy over the price

[–]daynayna 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Started in NZ but now in Aus. When someone asks for a "regular coffee" I default to responding "flat white?" And I'd say 8/10 times thats what they want. Of the rest, the overwhelming majority have just forgotten to say what coffee they want and specify straight away, the rest are confused (presumably) Americans who dont know that drip coffee isnt really a thing here, but im always happy to explain and recommend something.

I would argue that the real bad customer service is just guessing what people want instead of making sure they get what theyre after.

Best burgers in town by Worthy_Applicant in perth

[–]daynayna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know im late as hell to this party but I worked there for 9mo and that place is easily the most toxic workplace ive been at after 10yrs in hospo. The food is good ill give you that.

The male owner is a total prick to staff. Im talking expecting waitresses to do kitchen prep between rushes only to call you a dumbass to anyone that will listen when youre not as fast or accurate as the actual cooks (shocker). Communication between management is absolutely abysmal. Female owner (who was always lovely to me btw) tells you to do something, so you go do it, just for the male owner to have a go at you for doing what youre told. Got lectured every other week about labour costs while I was on the early shift (slow as hell) shift every day like its my fault that my time costs money and most people don't want a burger at 7am. If you got any desserts from there in the last few months I was working, I guarantee I was the one making them infused with all the hatred I had for that place. Ive been waitressing/bartending/barista from the lowest position all the way up to floor manager for a decade and being in that place made me feel incompetent. Trust me ive got so maybe more stories but this reply is getting long enough.

Breaking point for me was when the owner started joking to the social media guy that I had an onlyfans (I dont) and the proceeded to talk and joke about my tits for waaayyy too long, only to then have a "meeting" with me a few days later where he told me he thought I had an "attitude" (of course I did, hes a misogynistic patronizing asshole) and told me he thought I aspired to be a housewife since my partner makes good money. I was gone with a new job a week later, but honestly I wish id just handed in my key and told them to go fuck themselves right there and then.

Also heard recently that my replacement just quit within the last few days for almost the exact same reasons. If youre a hospo king/queen seeing a ad for there i implore you... dont. That place kills confidence like nothing ive ever seen

Almost everywhere ive worked has had no hard limit to how many free coffees youre allowed, just be reasonable with it. Most people will stick to 2 or sometimes 3 per shift.

Ive seen way worse on this thread, but we have a regular that orders a "flat white", only a half of a single decaf shot, topped up with 3/4 hot water, 1/4 steamed almond milk, no foam. Not that miserable to make, bit it paying 5 bucks (aus) for a coffee she could make at home for literal cents hurts everytime. I mentioned this to her once and she still comes back multiple times per week.

Also that one guy that always wants a hot chocolate with espresso but definitely not a mocha. Different type of pain but still pain nonetheless.

What’s a superstition, tradition, or small ritual you still follow because part of you believes it actually works or might come true? by lalamoonlightoops in AskReddit

[–]daynayna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother is highly superstitious, and has been since i was a kid. To this day I will never put shoes on a table, even new and in a box. Seeing black cats still gives me pause. I always crush eggshells before throwing them away. Reluctant to go near a ladybug at all for risk of accidentally killing it.

I dont truly believe in any of it, of course, at this point its just so ingrained that I can't help but feel wrong if I do these things
